  • Capistranstiege, connects Capistrangasse and Fillgradergasse.
  • Corneliusstiege, connects Corneliusgasse and Gumpendorferstrasse.
  • Fillgraderstiege, connects Fillgradergasse and Theobaldgasse.
  • Rahlstiege, connects Rahlgasse and Mariahilfer Straße.[2]
  • Viktor-Matejka-Stiege, connects Kaunitzgasse with Eggerthgasse and Luftbadgasse.

There is also a staircase in Raimundhof, a passageway connecting Windmühlgasse and Mariahilfer Straße.
